New Everton Manager

[bluenotred]

I've been an Everton supporter for almost 60 years. Benitez is not my first choice (or 2nd 3rd). However, if he is appointed i will get behind him. We need to get over his rs connections or remarks he made all those years ago. Doesn't matter now.

I honestly don’t know what you’re all upset about really

 

[catcherintherye]

you know, rubbish like Torres Alonso Garcia Mascherano Barry Bellamy Aurelio Arbeloa, I could get used to rubbish like that after our spend this last few years. I really could.

Did he sign Barry? Arbeloa and Aurelio were rubbish in England. I'm thinking more though;
Pongole, Cisse, Josemi, Carson, Pelligrino, Nunez, Le Tallec, Morientes (who was rubbish for them), Calliste, Roque, Barragan, Kromkamp, Gonzalez, Hobbs, Idrizaj, Pennant, Paletta, El Zhar, Padelli, Guthrie, Babel, Skirtel, Leto, Nemeth, Itandje, Plessis, Mihaylov, Voronin, Insua, Keane, Riera, Dossena, Cavalieri, Ngog, Degen, Aqualani etc etc

I mean that's just Liverpool. It's a who's who lost of utter rubbish, not a single one of them would get near our 11, and he spunked massive fees on a lot of them as well. There's about 4 good signings to compensate for about the 40 duds he's bought there.

Welcome to Everton video has just been finished.

He actually looks like a teletubbie

After getting promotion with Newcastle, Benitez finished 10th then 13th in the following two seasons winning 12 games in both seasons, what in the world is the board thinking of here

That was With no money to be fair. The squad that got relegated that he inherited. Then in 3 years a promotion. And 2 mid table finishes, like you said. He was 3mil in credit on buying and selling Over the 3 season

 

[ToffeeTim]

actually think that suits us better than whatever Ancelotti was attempting.

I personally would prefer to never see 4231 ever again

Absolutely horrid system unless you have top players

We would have to get Sheffield United style points and if that was the case he would be gone by Christmas as would any other manager and a total mismanagement of the football team

If we don't get European football, he needs to be gone.

 

[catcherintherye]

Agree but the narrative on twitter is it's a safe appointment designed to keep us safe until BMD. I don't buy that for two reasons, one he has a record the board will be expecting results also given his history if we weren't doing well by Christmas he could be gone because the fans will turn very very quickly on him since a large section don't want him anyway. Never mind the end of the season or in eighteen months.

We are already safe. We don't need someone to keep us safe. We need someone to close the 8 point gap to the top 4. That's the objective for him.

I'm starting to think the new stadium is going to be the club's greatest mistake. Will cost literally half a billion to move from a cathedral to a soulless bowl on the windy river next to a sewage works.

This is a very interesting comment. Will be sure to monitor you closely.

Moyes had a negative net spend over a decade with us and regularly finished in Europe and didn’t relegate us. Finishing mid table with Newcastle and winning the Championship with the most expensive squad in the history of the division isn’t an achievement.

yes, and but for the three european finals and championship wins in Spain and the cup wins in Italy they measure up pretty well.

Thing is would we of sacked Carlo if he hadnt of walked, I'm.not so sure we would of done.

No one cares what he did 20 years ago fella.

No money yet he spent £157m.....

If we get European football, he needs to be gone. In fact he needs to be gone regardless. Let's hire him and sack him immediately.

Fixed that for you.
